Daitengu 大天狗, one of Iizuna’s attendants/protectors. The long nose is characteristic of most tengu, as are the wings (though only for certain types of tengu). He is cloaked in the garb of a yamabushi (practitioner of Shugendō), whose mysterious mountain existence sometimes gave way to rumors of being part tengu.
